White flowered desert rose

We bought this plant a year ago, and it is finally looking alive! We have since taken the rocks out, in hopes of growing a thicker base and stem.

A seed pod on Adenium obesum, not quite ripe, about 9" long

Seeds emerging from the pod. They're easily airborne. I had to turn off the ceiling fans or they would've been all over the kitchen.

Here's a nice one from the LA county fair this last weekend (Oct 03)

This is the first seedpod of my 3-year-old Adenium Obesum plant.

This Adenium obesum is growing in a pot on my patio.

This plant is ten years old; even with my cutting of branches off for propagating more plants it has developed into a very nice looking tree-shaped bush. It flowers almost all year long, and I keep it dry from Nov.- March, our winter in S. CA.

Photographed in the hothouse of Reynolda Gardens, North Carolina on May 9, 2002 with an Olympus C-2100UZ digital camera.

This plant is 5' tall and lives in N Oahu - one of the rainiest spots on earth... and doing well

This plant is around 16 years old and grown in Toronto Canada. Click to view an updated photo with the plant in bloom.

Adds beautiful color to any tropical garden.

I purchased this plant from nursery, it has the bulbar(large ball) above the roots, it's in a pot

The elongated almost 4"seed pod (dark red) at the tip of the left branch. This is 4 years old.
